If you don't mind paying $700.00 - 800.00 out of pocket, you can get
an MRI scan within a week or two here at a private clinic.

If Joe USA with a company paid HMO health plan had to do that, he'd
scream bloody murder.
Those without a health plan will get it for free, if it is related to
a life threatening injury or disease.

HMOs and PTOs screwed up health insurance here in the USA royally,
IMHO. We should go back to inexpensive major medical coverage for
catastrophic injury or illness. The rest we should pay for and it
should be free for those that can't.

I agree. If I need an x-ray and money's tight, I can put it on a credit
card. And, there's never a problem with $60 office visits to the
internist. Meanwhile, I'm paying $300 a month for Blue Choice, for
medical needs which may never happen. I'd love to have a policy that
covered everything over X amount - $2K a year, or some such thing.

Then get a Medical Savings Account:

Yeah...that's on my list of things to do during vacation, when the damned
phones stop ringing. Speaking of work, can I interest you in 1150 cases
(9,200 64 oz bottles) of Indian Summer apple juice? $16.00 per case,
delivered, but you have to take the whole truck. $18,400.00. Net 10 days.

Plastic or glass bottles?

Plastic. Prepare to provide a D&B number.
